Storybook Cottage 2 blocks from Whitman College and a short walk to downtown
Charming 1926 English Cottage in the Heart of Walla Walla
Step back in time with this enchanting 1926 English Cottage, nestled in the historic Whitman College neighborhood. Just a 4-minute stroll through the lush Whitman campus brings you to downtown Walla Walla, where you'll find shops, dining, and local attractions.
Main Floor: The main floor offers approximately 1,500 sq/ft of living space, featuring classic hardwood floors throughout. The gourmet kitchen is perfect for preparing delicious meals, while the cozy living room, complete with an electric fireplace, is the ideal spot to unwind. Two thoughtfully appointed bedrooms await—one with a king-size adjustable bed and the other with a queen-size adjustable bed. The remodeled main bathroom boasts a stunning quartz countertop and travertine tile. For entertainment, there are TVs in both bedrooms and a 50-inch TV in the living room.
Master Suite: Upstairs, the entire floor is dedicated to the luxurious master suite, offering 500 sq/ft of space. Enjoy a restful night’s sleep on the king-size bed, or relax in the sitting room with a 55-inch flat-screen TV. The expansive bathroom features a claw-foot tub and shower, providing a serene retreat.
Basement: The basement is an active space, featuring an exercise room with a rowing machine, stair climber, free weights, and a flat-screen TV for entertainment. The bathroom here is equipped with a sleek ceramic tile shower with a glass enclosure. There's also a fourth bedroom with egress, featuring a comfortable double bed for extra guests. The laundry room includes everything you need, from laundry supplies to convenient storage space.
Backyard Oasis: Step outside into the unique backyard, a past participant in the 2004 and 2009 Pond and Garden Tour. The tranquil space features a copper bowl fountain, a soothing waterfall, and a playset for children. For outdoor dining or relaxation, the patio seats eight, with an extended brick area perfect for enjoying a glass of wine around the gas fire pit.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Debbie and Mike Crawford

Debbie and Mike grew up in the area and own several rental properties in Walla Walla. We have enjoyed being landlords and this is our first vacation rental. We are both professionals and always strive to provide a high level of customer satisfaction to our customers.
Why they chose this property
We have worked hard over the years to preserve the existing form, integrity, and materials of this historic home. We have no kids at home now, so we decided to offer it to others to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
This home has the original stucco exterior and a unique rounded roof design. Throughout the house are built-in features. The kitchen was enlarged by 300 square feet in 2001, as the original was small, and the addition won an architectural award from the 2020 Walla Walla Organization that same year.
